I am a resident of High Park…

I am a resident of High Park and use the Bloor bike lane almost daily. It is the main way that I travel to work and to visit friends/family. It is also regularly packed with cyclist also using it daily for the same purpose. The separation from traffic keeps us safe from harm. When I take other routes with no lanes, I am often weaving in and out of traffic and putting myself at risk.
Most cities around the world are moving towards active transportation to improve the wellbeing of citizens and the planet. Cars cause congestion and pollution. The way to reduce traffic is to reduce cars on the road. Safe active and public transportation options create viable alternatives.
I implore you to reconsider and instead take action to reduce cars on the road, for our health and environment.
